REQUIRED TEXT & MATERIALS

Title: Foundations of Electronics

Author: Meade

Edition: 2nd

Publisher: Pearson Education

ISBN: 9781418005412

How to Order Textbook/Materials

All books and materials, unless otherwise noted, should be purchased from the Ivy Tech online

bookstore. To order the texts required for this class or any other course, go to

http://www.ivytech.bkstr.com. Students can order all books and materials for all courses from

this site – regardless of whether it is an online or on-campus course.

In the future, it is advised that students order textbooks and materials before the start of the

semester. Students should use a copy of their course schedule to accurately order books and

materials. Schedules can print a copy of their course schedule from Campus Connect at

http://cc.ivytech.edu.

Students who live in Indiana and surrounding states will normally receive their book order within

one day from the time the book is shipped from the warehouse. Paying for overnight shipping on

textbook orders from the bookstore is normally not a good use of money as it does not ensure

overnight processing of the order – it only ensures that once the book order has been processed,

it will be shipped out overnight.

COLLEGE POLICIES

Academic Honesty Statement

The College is committed to academic integrity in all its practices. The faculty value intellectual

integrity and a high standard of academic conduct. Activities that violate academic integrity

undermine the quality and diminish the value of educational achievement.

Cheating on papers, tests, or other academic works is a violation of College rules. No student

shall engage in behavior that, in the judgment of the instructor of the class, may be construed as

cheating. This may include, but is not limited to, plagiarism or other forms of academic

dishonesty such as the acquisition without permission of tests or other academic materials and/or

distribution of these materials and other academic work. This includes students who aid and abet

as well as those who attempt such behavior.

Copyright Statement

Students shall adhere to the laws governing the use of copyrighted materials. They must insure

that their activities comply with fair use and in no way infringe on the copyright or other

proprietary rights of others and that the materials used and developed at Ivy Tech Community

College contain nothing unlawful, unethical, or libelous and do not constitute any violation of

any right of privacy.

ADA Statement

Ivy Tech Community College seeks to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified

individuals with documented disabilities. If you need an accommodation because of a

documented disability, please contact the Office of Disability Support Services.

If you will require assistance during an emergency evacuation, notify your instructor

immediately. Look for evacuation procedures posted in your classroom.

Ivy Tech Growing Greener

Ivy Tech Community College–Northeast is committed to the development and implementation

of a comprehensive sustainability plan. We’re emphasizing our responsibility to go green. To

that end, we are asking students, faculty, and staff to actively participate in energy conservation

measures and proper recycling on campus. The recycling bins located in classrooms and offices

are for paper and paper products only. Ivy Tech participates in single-stream recycling for other

items. All aluminum, glass, and plastic beverage containers can co-mingle in the same recycling

bins located in the hallways. Please remember to empty the liquid from your containers before

depositing them in the bins. Any materials that cannot be recycled should be placed in garbage

cans. It is also important to turn off lights and computers when leaving a room. Together, we can

make an impact on conserving our limited resources. Remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle!

ATMAE – Requirements

Students wishing to graduate from a School of Applied Science and Engineering or the School of

Technology, from Ivy Tech Community College Northeast must complete at least 12 semester

hours of Management and/or Technical training. This requirement is concurrent with the college

requirement that each student must complete 15 semester hours at this institution. Students

transferring to Ivy Tech Community College Northeast and entering into the School of Applied

Science and Engineering or the School of Technology must also meet the 12 semester hours of

Management and/or Technical training. Credits considered for transfer may be from another Ivy

Tech ATMAE accredited campus or obtained from an ATMAE accredited institution.

Breathe Easy

Ivy Tech–Northeast is committed to providing a healthy, comfortable and productive

environment for the students, faculty and staff of this campus. The use or sale of any tobacco

product is prohibited on college-owned, operated, or leased property or vehicles at any time. The

policy applied to all Ivy Tech–Northeast facilities and grounds, regardless of location. Smoking,

including the use of an e-cigarette, shall not be permitted in any enclosed space and is also

prohibited outdoors on all college campus property, including parking lots. This policy applies to

all students, faculty, staff and visitors. Tickets and fines will be issued to violators.

COURSE POLICIES & PROCEDURES

Method of Instruction

The format of the class includes: Lectures, Labs and Team Projects. Lectures will be derived

from the Text Book and additional information that the instructor may feel is pertinent. The

weekly PowerPoint slides will be posted on Blackboard.

Labs will be conducted at Ivy Tech either in the class room or an appropriate lab. Each student

will create and maintain a “Lab Book”. The Lab Book will capture all of the lab results,

calculations, and observations for all of the labs completed during the semester. Lab Books will

be turned-in prior to the end of the class.

Team Projects will require some contact with other team members during the class and between

classes. Each Team will be responsible to present to the class Team Presentations as defined by

the instructor.

Due Dates & Deadlines

The Syllabus and Course Calendar are 2 important tools to help students understand the course,

student and instructor expectations, and deadlines. Both documents can be found under the “Start

Here” button in the course within Blackboard.

Students are required to submit work on time for a chance to receive credit. Deadlines for each

week/assignment are summarized on the course calendar. Students should check the calendar

frequently for deadlines and to be aware of what to expect next. Deadlines are subject to change.

Students are responsible for timely assignment submission. Should a computer system or

network go down, students must still turn in work in a timely manner. Don’t wait until the last

minute. Plan ahead by seeking alternative means for submitting work before needed. Local

libraries and all Ivy Tech Community College campuses can serve as alternative resources.

Contact the closest/most convenient campus or other public lab for schedules and Internet

availability. Not having access to the required software on a home or work computer is not a

legitimate excuse for turning in homework late.

Attendance Policy – Don’t Get Dropped from Class!

Registered students are expected to arrive on time. Come to class prepared for scheduled

activities. NOTE: Failure to attend is not an official class withdrawal. Students wanting to

withdraw must complete and sign an official Drop/Add form and return it to the registrar by

Saturday November 9th, otherwise a Grade of “F” for the class will be entered on the student’s

grade record.

Make-Up Policy

A missed test or other graded material may be made-up only at the discretion of the instructor. If

you miss a class you will need to contact the instructor via email or phone. There is no make-up

for quizzes, labs, homework or exams without the instructor’s approval. You are responsible to

provide all group project team information to your team prior to any presentation.

Last Day to Withdraw

If a student wishes to withdraw from this course, students are responsible for completing an

official withdrawal form with the registrar. The last day to withdraw from this course is 11:59

p.m. Saturday, November 9.

Lab

The lab is owned by the college. You are guests in this lab. As such I expect that you will

conduct yourself accordingly. Drinks with a sealed cap are allowed (i.e. water or soda bottles).

Drinks with an open top are not allowed (i.e. coffee cups or soda cans). Non-messy food items

are allowed. If you have a spill or make a mess you are expected to clean it up. You must log-on

using your campus connect username and password. Please notify the instructor of any problems.

Grades

All grades will be maintained in Blackboard’s online grade book. Students are responsible to

track their progress by referring to the online grade book.

Right of Revision

The college reserves the right to change any statements, policies or scheduling as necessary.

Students will be informed promptly of any and all changes.
